I don’t know when the “sad Richard Madden sadly rides the sad tube” photo first went viral, but it was many months, if not over a year ago, which in Internet time is like the length of one winter in Westeros. But the picture is making the Tumblr-go-round yet again after it was uploaded to the newly popular “Men Taking Up Too Much Space On The Train,” and ever since, women have been all like, LET’S RED WEDDING THE KING…again.

See? If the always accurate Sun says it’s so, it’s so. There’s no way a comment like, “Castrate him. Maybe it would free up some of the space his c*ck is desperately trying to take up” could be said in jest. In related news:

Dumb. Most of the time the middle seat goes unoccupied anyway; unless the bench is seating three children / midgets, it’s pretty damn uncomfortable. There’s half a dozen more offensive breaaches of subway etiquette one could commit.

It ain’t trivial if you’ve been on your feet all day and there are no seats and some douchebro is taking up two because his effing junk needs a seat of its own. it’s rage-inducing, depending on how tired you are vs. how much of a tool the guy is, if his collar is popped, etc. And yeah, I did used to fight back with the enormous purse move. Two can play the entitled to two seats game. Jesus, I don’t miss commuting.

I mean back in the day we didn’t call it “male privilege” or entitled patriarchal behavior or whatever but if your mothers ever had to ride a train, I guarantee you they are familiar with the behavior being called out. (I don’t think all the guys pictured in that tumblr are doing it, either, for what that’s worth. The King in the North isn’t even doing it — there’s nobody sitting on his right and his other leg is up against some other guy’s leg.) Yes, you can say “excuse me,” and I’ve done that and argh thank you internet for making me remember all the weird passive aggressive / aggressive aggressive creepy interactions that used to make up my daily commute. At least the broad stance dudes were sitting down, not “accidentally” pressed up against you.

Would have been cooler if you fought fire with fire and just sat exactly like the bro in question. When people look at you funny, you could also say that you’re making a statement about unfair gender norms.
